Review!Review!Review!
The Dark Lord explained Lucius' plan to the assembled Death Eaters, and once they all understood the first group left. After about half an hour the second group left, which included the Dark Lord himself.
Voldemort and his inner circle Apparated into the air above Azkaban and dropped down easily using a feather weight spell. The first group of Death Eaters' job had been to cause havoc in the main courtyard and lower class prison cells in order to lure all of the guards that were on duty to the bottom floor. Since Fudge did not believe that the Dark Lord had truly returned yet the guards of Azkaban ,trusting the minister fully, did not expect a second group to come in quietly and release all of the Death Eaters that were held in the upper floors.
The Dark Lord with Lucius and Severus right behind him and the rest of the second group silently went past the chaos of the courtyards and headed up the stairs to the upper floors. What they didn't plan for though was a rush of lazy guards just heading to the scuffle in the lower floors now. The Death Eaters behind Voldemort took action immediately and efficiently wiped out the guards but not without losing 5 of their men against the 15 guards.
The Dark Lord stepped over the backs of the fallen men and continued up the stairs and onto the top floor, the roof of which was charmed to vaporize intruders and unfortunately the Death Eaters' charm/curse breaker was one of the ones currently housed in Azkaban thus they had been forced to take the long way.
Upon reaching the top floor Voldemort stopped and put his hand up to signal everyone, "open all cells, one of ours or not. If they are not already among our ranks, offer them to join us, if they refuse kill them."
All the Death Eaters nodded and silently went about opening the cells of the now cheering or insanely gibbering inmates. Voldemort nodded and moved to talk to Lucius, "Lucius, start giving out the portkeys to the men on this floor, those on the lower floor should be able to easily apparate out." Lucius nodded and started to pass out portkeys when he was suddenly tackled to the ground.
Voldemort whipped his head towards Lucius and watched as the man bit into Lucius' hand causing him to drop his wand, the Dark Lord frowned and shot an Avada Kedavra at the man who instantly fell dead. The Dark Lord frowned at Lucius emotionlessly, "Pick up your wand Lucius and get out, your useless if you can't weald your wand. Next time make sure you don't get incapacitated by filthy muggle means."
Lucius lowered his head in shame and handed all the portkeys to Severus who just finished killing some inmates who were unwilling to join them, and he then shamefully apparated back to Riddle Manor.
Severus looked at Voldemort in confusion but Voldemort looked at him harshly, "finish Lucius' job for him." Severus was confused about the predicament but then nodded and started handing out portkeys.
Voldemort looked over at how his Death Eaters were doing but all of a sudden he heard shouts and saw flashes and saw that his Death Eaters from the lower floors must have fled or something because the guards were back up here. He noticed that his Death Eaters weren't faring that well so he walked up to the front of the ranks with a strong shield cast in front of him and let all of the guards see him out in the open in order to give Fudge a message, that the Dark Lord was back.
Voldemort smirked at the guards' shocked faces and he activated the portkeys and soon the guards were standing in an empty hall.
X-X-X
Voldemort sighed and slouched in his throne, stroking Nagini. He had dismissed his weary Death Eaters, some of which were staying in his manor since they were now wanted criminals. He sighed as Lucius came up to him and knelt so that his face was touching the grimy floor, which to those that knew Lucius well, knew that he must really respect you if he'll stand to have his face touching the filthy ground.
"My Lord, I beg your forgiveness , I-I I don't know where that man came from, I-" Lucius abruptly sighed, "I should have been more aware of my surroundings."
The Dark Lord stood up, draped Nagini on his shoulders, and walked towards Lucius and grabbed his bloody hand causing Lucius to whimper, he looked into Lucius' eyes and said, "Make sure that it doesn't happen again Lucius or you may find yourself demoted lower than Goyle… or worse. Brush up on fighting stances also, if your enemy starts using muggle means, you must be better than them at it, remember you're a pureblood so start acting like one." Voldemort turned and headed towards the door out of the room, "also get Severus to fix that hand, you're of no use to me without it."
Voldemort closed the door to the throne room leaving Lucius kneeling awkwardly in the cold throne room alone. Lucius gulped and hurriedly left, seeing if he could catch Severus before he left.

Draco lay on Obsidian's bed while Obsidian lounged on the floor, "Are you sure you're ok with me taking your bed?" he asked hesitantly. Obsidian just waved it off,
"I don't even use it anyways,I like the floor."
Draco nodded in acceptance and checked the pocketwatch his father had given him for his birthday last year, "it's almost midnight," he informed Obsidian.
Obsidian just nodded and cocked his head to the side to hear for movement in the house, "sounds like everyone's asleep, except for Tom, he's walking around in his room. If we leave now we have to be silent, Nagini's probably with him and she may be able to hear us."
Draco nodded and the two stealthily left the room heading quietly down the staircase towards the front door. Draco whipped out his wand and quietly performed a silencing spell on the front door, causing Obsidian to glare at him, "why didn't you do that earlier?" he hissed.
Draco shrugged awkwardly, "kind of caught up in the moment I guess…"
Obsidian scoffed and the two walked out the front door of the manor, through the field, and into the woods. Obsidian looked around the woods and led Draco into a clearing. He smirked at Draco, "are you mentally prepared?" he asked haughtily.
"of course I a-!," Draco started, but suddenly Obsidian put his hand on Draco's mouth.
"shhh," he hissed and stood still, Draco mimicked his movements ad all of a sudden there was a crack and a bullet whizzed by Draco's head. Draco slowly turned towards the tree where the bullet had become embedded in and sucked in a breath.
Obsidian stayed frozen as a group of seven men emerged from the bushes donned in night vision goggles.
"didya hit 'im?" one of them asked another. One of the other ones shook his head and frowned and pointed his gun at Draco and Obsidian.
"Do you twerps know what we found in the woods this morning? Hmm?" Neither Draco nor Obsidian responded so the man continued, "the ravaged body of my daughter! THE CORONER SAID IT LOOKED LIKE AN ANIMAL HAD EATEN HER BUT THERE WAS EVIDECE THAT HER NECK HAD BEEN SNAPPED! WHAT ANIMAL DO YOU KNOW DOES THAT?" The man screamed.
One of the other man put a hand on the screaming ones shoulder, "Charles.."
"Don't Charles me you sod! What if your daughter had been murdered, and you thought to hunt down whatever 'animal' had killed her in the woods and you come across these two brats you never seen before, ay?" the man, Charles seethed at the other man who just turned his head in shame.
Charles turned back to Obsidian and Draco, "So which one of you wants to lead us to the others? Hmm? I know there are more of you, two kids wouldn't just be walking through the woods alone."
While Charles was ranting Obsidian discreetly leaned in closer to Draco, "when I say so run back to the manor and get help, keep your wand in your pocket so they don't find you suspicious, Muggle weapons are powerful" Obsidian whispered. Draco looked worried for Obsidian but nodded anyways.
When Obsidian looked back up the men had surrounded Him and Draco and Charles had his gun pointed at Obsidian. "Now," Charles sneered, "tell me where my daughters murderer is or I'll shoot you."
Obsidian glowered but then started chuckling and then he was outright laughing, all of the men and Draco looked confused. "My dear human," Obsidian spoke between laughs, "Your daughter's killer is right here."
That spooked the men who started glancing around the woods, thinking that they were surrounded which caused Obsidian to laugh even louder, soon he composed himself. "Why Charles," Obsidian sneered, "You raised such an annoying offspring." That caught Charles and the other 6 men's attention. Obsidian continued, "I was just sitting on the swing when she approached me and had the nerve to touch me. And at the time you understand I was quite hungry, my father's house not carrying anything edible."
The men looked at Obsidian suspiciously completely focusing their eyes and their guns on him. Obsidian discreetly smirked, "Well I'm afraid for your daughter I do not like being touched, so I snapped her neck and then dragged her into the woods and devoured her."
"YOU WHAT!" Charles roared.
Obsidian smiled menacingly, "you heard me" he hissed, "I ate your daughter, and her flesh was rather delicious mind you, but that must come from her mother because you smell repulsive." Obsidian unconsciously broke the glamour that Lucius had forgotten to take off of him before he left, and the men staggered back gasping.
Obsidian smiled showing his jagged teeth, "So, what are you going to do about it Charlesssss?," he hissed, accentuating the hiss in Charles' name further.
Charles fired at him, but missed in his rage, and soon shots rained towards Obsidian but he adeptly dodged them all, since he could hear them coming as soon as they left the barrel. Obsidian kept on chiding Charles on and then he started to morph into his basilisk form, and shouted, "Now!" and he barely heard Draco's rushed footsteps over the roar of bullets leaving guns aimed at him.
Now in his full basilisk form Obsidian swung his head down and devoured two of the men in one bite. He turned and saw Draco standing in the trees looking at him in awe, he roared at him and Draco fled towards the manor.
A bullet plunged into Obsidian's side while he was distracted by Draco and Obsidian roared and bit one of the other men in half leaving his legs to fall limply in a bloody heap on the floor.
X-X-X
Draco sprinted through the woods, eyes wide with panic, Obsidian had distracted the men in order for him to escape! He had to get help! Draco ran blindly in the direction he thought the manor was in and soon was in the small field that surrounded the back of the manor. He ran towards the front door but was blocked by an invisible barrier.
"No!" Draco cried, the manor was surrounded by wards! No wonder everyone either Apparated or came by floo! Draco Started banging on the ward and yelling for someone, anyone! Hopefully the ward didn't block out sound also.
Draco banged on the wards futily and sank to his knees hanging his head in depression, his only real friend was going to die just because he had wanted to see his animagus form! Draco sat wallowing in his self pity and a single tear escaped hi eye and ran down his cheek.
He looked up sadly and saw Nagini on the porch. With new enthusiasm Draco waved to her and yelled and hesitantly the snake slithered to the edge of the barrier and looked at him. "Nagini!" he cried, "Obsidian's in trouble! We were in the woods so he could show me his animagus form and we were attacked by hunters.. and….and. Just please get the Dark Lord! Obsidian needs him or he's going to die!"
Nagini , from spending years being Voldemort's familiar could now understand human speak well enough and immediately after Draco finished sped off into the manor.
Draco heard a yell and a fully clothed Dark Lord sprinted out the front door towards Draco who stood worried and slightly afraid outside the ward.
Voldemort ran towards Draco and grabbed both his arms and brought their faces close together and looked Draco directly in the eyes, "WHERE IS HE?" He seethed.
Draco hurriedly recomposed himself and led Voldemort and Nagini back to the clearing where Obsidian was standing in him human form covered in blood, holding his side. Draco sighed when he saw that Obsidian was still alive but his hopes were dashed when a shot rang out and Obsidian crumpled onto the ground. Draco cried out in shock and ran up to Obsidian who was on his back, with a bullet in his neck and breathing shakily.
Voldemort with hate filled eyes turned towards the shooter and saw the man smile and choke out, "that's for my daughter you son of a…." and he died with his eyes open. Later autopsy told that it was from a mix of blood loss from his lack of an arm and from the snake venom that had entered the wound.
"Obsidian! Keep your eyes open! Obsidian!" Draco yelled.
Obsidian slowly opened his eyes and attempted to speak but it came out as a gurgle and blood dripped from his lips.
Voldemort stood up enraged , "Move away from him Malfoy," he hissed. Draco quickly complied and Voldemort used his wand to levitate Obsidian and started quickly walking back to the manor with Nagini on his shoulders, looking at Obsidian with worry and Draco trailing sadly behind them.
The Dark Lord abruptly started giving Draco orders as he was speed walking to the manor, "Draco!"
Draco's head immediately looked up to the Dark Lord's back, "yes….my lord?" Draco said hesitantly not really sure how to address the Dark Lord since he wasn't a Death Eater or anything.
"Severus is your godfather, correct?" Voldemort questioned.
"Yes," Draco responded bluntly.
"Then you must have some way to easily contact him. Do so and tell him we need his abilities and to bring some healing potions."
Draco nodded and pulled a two way mirror out of one of the endless pockets in his cloak. Draco tapped on the mirror three times slowly, trying to accomplish making the connection but also trying not to trip on a tree root.
Draco looked at the mirror and it showed the ceiling and towers of books, Draco sighed and called, "Severus!". He got no response until he tried three more times and finally a tired looking Snape picked up the mirror.
Snape yawned uncharacteristically, "what do you want Draco, I'm rather worn out from today."
Draco looked at Snape worriedly, "I'm sorry Severus but this is urgent, Obsidian is hurt and we need your help! The Dark Lord doesn't have any other wizards that know healing magic that he can trust like you!"
Severus frowned and then sighed, "Alright I'll be right there, let me just grab my stuff." And Severus cut off the connection on the mirror.
Draco looked up and saw the Manor and the field. The four approached the house (technically one was carried), and Voldemort let Draco through the wards. Voldemort levitated Obsidian onto the couch, and soon after he accomplished that Severus stepped out of the fireplace.
Severus set down his tools of the trade and grabbed his wand, he then banished all of Obsidian's clothes except his underwear. Snape fished around in his bag and pulled out bruise removal cream. He then started rubbing the cream on the many bruises that littered Obsidian's body.
Severus frowned at Voldemort, "he's covered in small circular bruises all over his body, what happened?"
Voldemort left the question alone but turned to Draco for an answer. Draco fidgeted at the stares but answered, "We were attacked by a mob and they shot at Obsidian while he was in his basilisk form so maybe it didn't hurt him as much because he was partially protected by his scales?"
Voldemort nodded but Severus frowned, "that seems plausible except the fact that he has two gunshot wounds, one to his neck and one a little beneath his ribs on the side." Severus started dressing the wounds while they were talking about the causes.
The Dark Lord pondered for a second, "it appears that Obsidian actually already has been using magic unnoticed by him to for instance cover up some of his scars," Voldemort waved his hand over Obsidian and a whole new abundance of small scars scattered Obsidian's body, "make sure those healed right." He spoke to Snape, "anyways back to my point, I believe that maybe Obsidian was using unintentional magic to toughen up his skin so that it would be harder to penetrate."
Draco, who was now seated on a chair near the couch nodded, "that sounds right, because heard him get shot when he noticed me."
Voldemort frowned at Draco, "Yes, and when he got shot in the throat he thought that all of the men were dead and had his defenses down because he believed the threat neutralized."
Their pondering was interrupted by Snape clapping his hands and shutting his case, "all done!" he placed three different colored vials on the table in front of the couch, he then turned to Voldemort, "make sure he drinks those when he wakes up, also." Severus put a small box in Voldemort's hand. "Give that to Obsidian, he will probably need it soon in the future based on his track record."
The Dark Lord looked inside the box, closed it, and nodded. Severus looked at Obsidian, "he should be fully healed in a few weeks, but he may have a hard time speaking or may cough a lot, but its natural so don't worry about it." Severus did a quick bow to Voldemort, gave Draco a small one arm hug and flooed back to his manor in order to get some rest.
Draco looked at Obsidian on the couch and scooted his chair closer to him and Voldemort sighed, "Draco, you can retire to Obsidian's room if you want, you don't have to stay here."
Draco shook his head, "no it's ok my lord, I'll stay here until he wakes up and then I'll take him to his room."
The Dark Lord sighed, "Very well, then I will see you and Obsidian in the morning at breakfast." Draco nodded and Voldemort retired to his room leaving Draco sitting on the chair staring off into space.
Draco jolted awake and looked up to see Obsidian sitting staring at him. Draco blushed at the intense stare and hastily stood up and brushed himself off. He then reached for the potions on the table and handed one of them to Obsidian, "You need to drink these, they'll help you get better faster."
Obsidian opened his mouth to reply but he just winced and put a hand to his neck, then slowly nodded and took the potion from Draco and downed it. Draco handed Obsidian the other two potions and the process was repeated. Then with Draco helping Obsidian the two made it up the staircase and into Obsidian's room where Draco sat Obsidian down on the floor and he then joined him.
Draco sighed and hung his head down in shame, "it's all my fault you got hurt, I'm the one who wanted to see your animagus form."
Obsidian looked over at Draco but didn't say anything and just looked away and the two sat in silence.
X-X-X
Obsidian woke up to severe back stiffness and found himself lying on the floor with Draco next to him snoozing against a wall. Obsidian cracked his back and stood up, noticing that the pain in his side had dulled into an ache, and his throat felt slightly better.
He yawned and headed down out of his room and down the stairs into the dining room. Obsidian sat down at the place on the table where his usual rare steak sat sitting patiently for him, he didn't even question anymore on how the houselves knew what time he would be down.
"You feel better?" he heard the Dark Lord ask.
Obsidian looked up and saw that he somehow hadn't noticed that Voldemort had been sitting at the head of the table reading a newspaper. He nodded in response and started poking his steak with his finger and an awkward silence filled the dining hall. That is until Draco burst into the room, with his hair all messy and his clothes half turned around.
The Dark Lord merely glanced at him and then continued reading his paper and Obsidian looked at Draco with one eyebrow raised.
Draco looked at Obsidian and Voldemort and simply sat down quietly next to Obsidian and attempted to fix his hair. Soon a plate of food appeared before him and he quietly munched on it.
The Dark Lord slammed down his paper angrily causing the two boys with him to jump, "That idiot Fudge", he grumbled and stood up but as he walked by Obsidian he placed a box on the table in front of him.
Draco watched the Dark Lord walk away, "wonder what got him so angry," he inquired.
Obsidian paid no attention to Draco and instead took the box and opened it to find a silver snake ring in it and a note that read, " This is a ring that will help to protect you from harm, it's from Severus. Don't take it off, ever. Your Father, V."
Obsidian frowned at the note and slipped the ring on next to the Slytherin ring.
Draco looked up at Obsidian, "Woah, you get a lot of rings. Anyways how about we try to get you at least caught up to third year spells today?"
Obsidian sighed and nodded and the two studied until September with a few visits from Nagini, and Obsidian introducing Draco to the portrait of Salazar Slytherin. Soon it was September first and Obsidian's first year at Hogwarts.
